'Umgänglich' (easygoing) belongs to the word family of 'Umgang' (interaction/dealing with people). The phrase 'Umgang mit Menschen' (dealing with people) can help you remember the adjective; note the change from 'a' to 'ä'.
Wer täglich mit vielen Menschen zu tun hat, sollte möglichst umgänglich sein.
Anyone who deals with many people every day should be as easygoing as possible.
'Umgänglich' (easygoing) is often used with nouns referring to people, such as 'Mensch' (person), 'Kollege' (colleague), or 'Chef' (boss). These combinations are especially suitable when describing everyday life or working together.

My roommate is an easygoing person, and we rarely argue.
You can emphasize this quality particularly positively with 'ausgesprochen umgänglich' (exceptionally easygoing) or 'äußerst umgänglich' (extremely easygoing). Both combinations are commonly used to express a clear personal assessment.
